Just a quicky.....

How does one go about making an in-world mailbox object that will receive notecards dropped into it? I see these all over....I'm guessing it's a simple script but not sure where to get it....or how make it. Anyone know?

thanks :D

The first allows dropping something in the prim, the next allows detecting that something has been dropped.

Use those to allow drop, detect it, then script it to send inventory to the owner, and then delete the items sent.

Would probably need checks for inventory type, to allow only notecards to go through, and just delete any other inventory type that gets added. Not sure if LlAllowInventoryDrop has a parameter to only allow certain types...

The function doesn't show any parameters to only allow certain types, but it does say that in order to drop anything but notecards, the control key has to be held while dragging the object to the prim.

Milla, are you definitely looking to learn to make one or just needing one to use?
If the latter, I can give you one of mine at around 10pm SLT tonight.
